FABTV: Jimi Hendrix, Woodstock '69, "Fire"

FabSugar — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:32:22 -0800

Not many men stand out as having style, and substance, to me. At the top of my menswear appreciation list is Johnny Depp. Jimi Hendrix is not far behind. He was intense, immensely talented, and fringe-tastic. Before the days of music video, we could live our Jimi fantasies through live performances - I think it's the best way to admire his form, anyway. Here he is, in said fringe-tastic white leather jacket, rockin' the way only he does. The red 'fro sash is a singular sensation. Blazing.

Fabcon: Anita Pallenberg

Oh, what I would give to travel back to the '60s and be a fly on the wall when Anita Pallenberg, once common-law wife of Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, ruled the rock 'n roll scene. It was a largely male-dominated industry, yet Anita had a unique musical influence over the band.

Born on January 25, 1946 in Rome, Italy, Anita was a model, actress, and has more recently become a fashion designer. But nothing makes her more well-known than her non-musical connection to the Stones. Besides having three children with Keith, Anita was romantically involved with band member Brian Jones, and also rumored to have hooked up with Mick Jagger. Given Anita's wild ways, I wouldn't be surprised.

While Anita's partying ways are intriguing, I'm more drawn to her unfussy boho style. Before the Siennas and the Kates (she's actually friends with Kate), Anita epitomized the hippie-chic style. Everything we wear now, she's already worn: stacked bangles, fur coats, gladiator sandals, wide belts . . . Because of her sass, courage, and style, she carved herself a place in the world. And what a rockin' place!

March Shopping Madness: Hippie Luxe

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:00:22 -0700

You don't have to smoke herb or fantasize about Woodstock to appreciate hippie luxe bags. In fact, as Valentino (left) proves, just because it's hippie doesn't mean it's not posh! This style is down-to-earth and often incorporate fringe or patchwork. It's great for unfussy girls who don't live by "It" bags but still want a fashionable flair. So channel your inner earth goddess and get hip(pie).

Haute Hippie Elongated Feather Vest: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I'm a huge advocate of vests, but I'm afraid this Haute Hippie Elongated Feather Vest ($695) would ruin my outfit instead of enhancing it. Am I being way harsh? It almost resembles a feather boa, but thicker. I must say though, the dusty pink color is just lovely. I think it would have been much more wearable if it was cropped. What do you think?

Antiwar. Antimeat. Antifashion (gasp!). Is there anything Hippie Dude isn't anti?

Send these websites his way: Sweatshop Watch, Behind the Label, and Free Cycle, and he has to be impressed. Hippies are indeed hard to shop for, here are some hippie-keen ideas.

Celebrity Style: Lauren Conrad

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Despite all the drama on The Hills, Lauren Conrad looks like she's having the time of her life on many a red carpet. At the Sony VAIO party in NYC, the reality star wore a stunning midnight blue beaded dress by Haute Hippie. Check out the price tag on that thing. It's mighty short, but she has nice legs so it works. Black and gold Yves Saint Laurent Tribute platforms, a Chanel bag, and some gold jewels complete the look and probably take the cost well into the thousands. Sign me up for reality TV!
